Tinubu Approves Major Southeast Road Projects, Soludo Says

Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo commended President Bola Tinubu for approving the design and procurement of two significant federal road projects in Southeast Nigeria. This approval is part of a deliberate effort to rebuild the region and heal the wounds from the Nigerian Civil War.

The announcement was made via Soludo's Facebook page on Thursday. The approval followed a meeting between Tinubu and Soludo on July 1, where discussions included the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi.

Soludo had submitted proposals for the two road projects on July 3, which include the dualization of the 108-kilometer Otuocha-Anam-Abaji Kogi Road and the 150-kilometer Oba-Nnewi-Uga-Okigwe Junction Road linking Anambra, Imo State, and the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway in Abia State. The Minister informed Tinubu of the project approval on July 15.

Soludo described the road projects as game changers for the Southeast, South-South, and North-Central regions, significantly improving connectivity and economic development.
